Premium Member Over the Pill

Red one
Blue one
Old on
New one
Ah heck
Side effects
I think I am 
Due one

They’ll flatten
Or fatten
Always been
In Latin
Or tongue twistish
Latinglish
To patent
A statin

But I’ve had my fill
And summoned the will
To say bye to the ill
Coz I’m over the pill

There were lots
Of drug shots
That I got
For clots
And sun spots
To slow snots
And fix rots
As a tot

I shopped ‘em
And stocked ‘em
Then popped ‘em
Or swapped ‘em
I ravaged
And damaged
Til a salvage
Was managed

Lived in sin
To my kin’s
Own chagrin
I was lost
And was tossed
‘Til therein
Bought low cost
Vitamins

I’ve shaken
The achin’
Forsaken
The fakin’
Nor more need
Of needles
As I’m free
Of evils

I’m not yet over the hill
But have had more than my fill
And I at last, have the will
To be so, over the pill

Dr Hegde's Health Gifts To Us

"INTRODUCTION" -
Now after Nobel Prizes for Insulin ... now Gangrene
We owe it to our grandchildren, to reverse
The "ILL PILL" industry and psuedo-education:
Diabetes is "metabolism of the liver" issue
Not a sugar or insulin or diabetes problem -
So auto-immune ills relate to hate, an anti-human emotion

I - (I L L)
It used to be said, "For every ill, there is a pill!"
Let us not repeat slogans; beyond rapping for ads
Let real education prevail; is your food good medicine?

II  - (P I L L)
Please use the internet; google Dr. Hegde's contribution;
Investigate who campaigned but failed to de-frock him
Let any crime, malpractice, be proved! As to statin -
Let it be known, after each pill comes many an ill.

DO NOT KILL THE MESSENGER: investigate the message. Is it valid? shalom
